The solution to this is probably technical rather than political.
Agreed. Politicians will always sell out the American citizen. The solution is universal adoption of TOR to prevent the ISPs from having this power. An independent and even better solution would be a TOR-based nationwide WiFi network composed of everyone's phones forming ad hoc wireless networks and distributing the load. It would kill the centralized ISP model. Unfortunately, this solution requires cooperation that Americans have never been able to muster.

I like short range antennas and home servers. Totally doable, but requires we care more about decentalization and privacy than convenience...

I understand that the Chinese dissidents in Hong Kong used this method to avoid the government crack downs and establish their own network. This could work well in a big city. Not so great when you go rural.

As long as TOR can access the carrier mobile phone signal, which is just IP packets nowadays, it would work anywhere you can get either a carrier signal or a hotspot signal.
